The galaxies of Arp 273 interact due to their mutual gravitational pull, creating this galactic masterpiece of a rose.
UGC 1810, the giant galaxy, appears in a rose-like shape due to the lower galaxy’s gravitation pull, UGC 1813. The scattered blue glitter in the image is nothing but massive stars.
NASA Hubble’s post on Instagram read, “Comprised of two interacting galaxies distorted by their mutual gravitational pull, Arp 273 forms a stunning galactic masterpiece resembling a rose.
These galaxies are around 300 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. Spread far across space and time; this visualization offers a unique three-dimensional view of Arp 273, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.”
